Robert Campbell injured

Featured Replies

 

COMEBACK ruckman Robert Campbell has suffered an injury setback with achilles tendinitis restricting his pre-season.

Injury hinders Demon Robert Campbell's return

Given the time off he has had from top level football and training it is not surprising.

His knowledge and perspective will still be great for the young blokes while he gets his body right.

This will almost definately remove any chance of him being the promoted rookie meaning Nicholson is sure to get it (barring injury).

Campbell can then focus on getting his body right and fitness up over the first 12 weeks of the season so he then can stake his claim for the mid year rookie promotion spot.

Agree with that. We can't punt on Campbell as our senior rookie upgrade unless he's 100%

Depending on what happens in the NAB Cup you'd think either Nicholson or Newton would get the nod.

To me, thats what we need him for mostly,,, a backup if the Russian goes down.

I'd like to see him keep his body fresh for a callup, and play @ Casey helping the young ones, and staying out of trouble.

I'd want to see Spencer pushing hard for the rucking berth.

Do we need to make a decision on the replacement for Bruce before the season commences?

If not, I'd be happy to wait until one of the rookies has earned selection in the senior side.

Why burn the upgrade on a projection?

I am pretty sure we don't need to choose one before they earn selection. Exactly right re: risk of a projection. Wait til one is shining in the VFL and earns a spot.

Logical. We have a good list of players all trying to get a game at the moment and there is no reason not to wait and see if a rookie shines and deserves a game in the seniors. It would be disappointing to promote someone who has no impact while a rookie is starring and cannot get uplifted.

Sorry OX 5 didn't see your post while I was typing.

Lets assume Campbell gets fit and stays fit. He is still there as insurance against Jamar getting injured.

If Jamar goes seriously lame, and gets put on the LTI list, them we can promote Campbell, no drama. The only reason to promote him otherwise would be if we need him to fill in for a short term injury to Jamar or to give Jamar an occassional week off during the seasdon to preserve him. Do we need to promote him now for the full season to achieve this? Maybe look for someone else to go LTI instead.

I want to see Jamar rucking with Spencer mostly, and maybe a try out of Gawn, Fitzpatrick or Martin. Not Newton. He's 192cn. That's a garden gnome when it comes to ruck work. So that we finish 2011 with one or two final games, a fit Jamar, an adequate backup in Spencer and a couple of youngs (Gawn & Fitzpatrick) who have had a taste of seniors.

 

Heard a whisper that this was a pre-existing injury that Campbell didn't disclose and now the Club is filthy.

Can't comment on how correct it is, just what I've heard.

Commence lynching now.

Iam sick of this type of crap being posted. To me, the club is smarter than that. To me, it is misleading and and belittling to our football department whom have done a stirling job over the last few years.

Heard a whisper that Mark Jamar wears crotchless lace knicker on game day.

Can't confirm how correct it is.

I may be naive but I believe that the club would have done its research in this area and in the circumtsances had a full medical done on the player.

According to yesetrday's Herald Sun he has a two week injury. If that's right, the rumour's bollocks.

If he's out longer than James Frawley there might possibly be some truth in the rumour but why would a premiership player of such impeccable integrity in the past, tell whoppers to get paid rookie wages?

The rumour really doesn't make any sense to me.

Some supporters may not recognise it, but Campbell's presence off-field will have more impact than his presence on-field.

If Spencer, Martin and our other bigs develop quicker than expected, I bet he'll have something to do with it.

Whether he plays or not, a shrewd move by the club.

We rookied him for the reason that he's vulnerable physically. He's a backup senior ruckman incase the Russian goes down.

Or, if he strikes golden form, then thats a massive bonus.

So, if he's not available for the start of the season. It doesn't matter.

Um, So, investigate the lace, or the chafing? LoL,LoL,LoL.

sorry dandee, I couldn'rt help it, LoL.

One of the truest and best posts you have ever made.

Trust you to cum up with somethin like this.

Ah Ah Ah, LoL. ahhh, you gotta laugh, or go mad. People are so bored, they just want to argue over nothing, or make someone else as angry, or as frustrated as them.

So, a little sillyness or fun goes a long way when there's not much to stimulate the lazy brains. :unsure:

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
